## 📝 Notes from Session b032b830

This session resumed from work on the Totally Spies animation proposal but pivoted to urgent tax filing after identifying the $25,000 penalty risk for late Form 5472.

**What was completed:**
1. ✅ Located prior session tax filing packet (Form 5472 + Form 1120 already prepared)
2. ✅ Generated Form 7004 extension application
3. ✅ Audited Form 7004 for accuracy (all fields correct)
4. ✅ Uploaded all forms to Google Drive "Tax 2025" folder
5. ✅ Documented filing procedures and acknowledgment methods

**What remains:**
- ⏳ File Form 7004 (due TODAY)
- ⏳ File Wyoming Annual Report (past due — March 1, 2026)
- ⏳ File Form 5472 + Form 1120 by October 15, 2026
- ⏳ Consider ITIN application for Maroun (optional but recommended)
